Qingdao fan kicks ref after double red

A CHINESE fan enraged by two quick red cards shown to the Qingdao Chinese Super League club at the weekend registered his annoyance by launching a karate kick at the referee and shoving a linesman.

Slovenian forward Aleksander Rodic was the first Qingdao Jonoon player given his marching orders after picking up a second yellow card for diving in the 67th minute of the 0-2 loss to Shanghai Shenhua on Sunday. Croatian midfielder Stjepan Jukic followed him for an early shower three minutes later after being shown a straight red card for a nasty foul. The tackle sparked a melee during which the unidentified man raced onto the pitch and attacked the two officials. Yu Tao, general manager of the Qingdao club, denied that the man, who was wearing branded shorts and trainers, was a club employee.
